When the Japanese position was bombarded, the national soldiers on the Fengling position were also awakened by the explosion. Every soldier was on alert as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"What's going on, the Japanese are coming for a sneak attack?" said a squad leader. He immediately asked the soldiers in the position to check the defensive position to prevent the Japanese from actually coming.
"Squad leader, that's not right, the explosion seems to have come from the Japanese side." A soldier next to him said.
The explosion was not from their camp at all, but came from the Japanese camp.
"What's going on?" After listening carefully, the squad leader of the national army couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. How could the Japanese side be bombarded?
The division commander Liang Gu also came from Awakened from sleep.
"What happened? Did the Japanese attack?" Liang Gu stood up, walked out of the tent, and asked the guards.
"Master, the explosion came from the Japanese camp and was not attacking us." the guard replied.
"The Japs' side" Liang Gu frowned. The sound of explosions was indeed coming from the Japs' camp, and his own position was not bombarded.
At this time, several brigade commanders also came over.
"Master, I don't know what happened over there with the Japanese. They were suddenly bombarded. I just asked about the artillery position. It was not that they were shelling the Japanese position privately." The first brigade commander said.
He thought just now that his own artillery had disobeyed orders and shelled the Japanese without authorization, but after questioning, the artillery battalion also looked confused, and they did not fire at all.
"Could it be that the Japs are fighting among themselves and the Japs' artillery can't bomb themselves?" said the second brigade commander.
"What are you thinking? How could the Japs be fighting among themselves?" Liang Gu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, luckily he could say it.
"That's not the shelling of our troops. It's impossible for the 309th Division to send people over and then bombard the Japanese." The second brigade commander said.
"It should be impossible for the 309th Division. It should be that a unit with an unknown number sneak attacked the Japanese artillery position, and then turned the muzzle to bombard the Japanese." Liang Gu guessed it immediately.
This is the only possible explanation. It is impossible for the 309th Division to send anyone here anyway.
"Master, who was it that attacked the Japanese artillery position? Why did you feel that there was no movement at all? It was as if a force from our camp went directly over and took over the Japanese position. Use the cannon to blow up the Japanese." said the brigade commander.
Although the Japs’ artillery position was small in number, it was unlikely that it would be captured without any resistance.
But the current situation is indeed the case. All the Japanese artillery positions were taken down quietly, and then the guns were turned to bombard the Japanese.
"I don't know whose army it is?" Liang Gu also frowned. Who was so bold to directly kill the Japanese artillery position and win the position so quickly.
Win the first prize silentlyThere is still a possibility of an artillery position, but several positions were taken down silently. The people who attacked the Japanese artillery positions are probably very strong.
"Master, could it be a new regiment?" the third brigade commander said. Since it is not the 309th Division, it is most likely a new regiment.
"You are saying that the new group is impossible. They have retreated a few days ago. They are probably leaving here soon." Liang Gu said.
He received news that the new regiment had evacuated and was unlikely to appear on the battlefield here. Moreover, even if they came, they would not be so bold.
You must know that the new group is isolated and helpless to a certain extent, and its ability to help defend Wu County is already the limit.
The key is that defending Wu County also caused heavy losses to the New Regiment. Under this situation, he did not believe that the commander of the New Regiment would take the lives of his soldiers seriously.
A few people fell silent. It’s not the New Regiment and it’s not the 309th Division. So where did this unit come from?
“Is there a possibility that the New Regiment stayed behind? They gathered some powerful soldiers and continued on the battlefield here, and then they came here and attacked the Japanese artillery position," the second brigade commander guessed.
The retreat of the new regiment may be an illusion, but in fact the troops are still here.
"The powerful warriors are strong and the Japanese are strong. The new regiment is really making a big fuss in Shanxi. The soldiers below are probably soldiers who have experienced actual combat.
However, No matter how powerful the veteran is, his military quality is still far behind that of the Japanese. Just like fighting with a bayonet, ordinary soldiers can fight the Japanese one-on-one, back and forth, and join forces with others to kill them. Even if a Japanese is very powerful, if he can easily kill a Japanese one-on-one, then he is called an elite soldier.
And this is just bayonet fighting, there are also marksmanship and so on. Do you think the Eighth Route Army has that ability? Do you want to spend a lot of bullets to train soldiers?" Liang Gu said.
It's not that he wants to boost others' ambitions and destroy his own prestige, but that's the fact. Not to mention that the Eighth Route Army doesn't have the conditions to train such soldiers specifically, and even if they have them, they wouldn't be able to train them.
The Japanese today are indeed very powerful for them, not only in terms of weapons and equipment, but also in terms of military quality.
The Japs were fully prepared for this invasion. The soldiers had been trained for several years and were very powerful.
With the same number of people, the Chinese troops could hardly fight against the Japanese.
For example, the 215th Division is considered very powerful, with a number of nearly 20,000 people. However, against a Japanese brigade of 7,000 or 8,000 people, they still cannot defeat them. If it were not for the advantage of the terrain, Fengling would have been lost. .
Even so, they fought very hard. Therefore, Liang Gu did not believe that the Eighth Route Army had the ability to train a team that could rival or even surpass the Japanese.
"That's right. There is such a big gap between us and the Japanese. How could the Eighth Route Army be stronger than us." The first brigade commander nodded.
"But, in any case, several of the Japanese artillery positions have been taken away, so our pressure will be much less, and the defense behind will not be so strenuous." said the second brigade commander.
Without the artillery positions, the Japanese will not be able to bomb the positions they defend, and the pressure on the soldiers will be relatively reduced.
Of course, the Japanese still have grenade launchers and the like, which will still pose a threat to their machine gun positions, but the threat from grenade launchers and the threat from mortars is still much smaller.
At the same time, Li Jin and the others bombed five rounds and fired hundreds of artillery shells into the Japanese camp before immediately choosing to retreat.
"Take away the artillery shells and mortars, and blow up the infantry cannons." Li Jin ordered. The infantry cannons are too heavy for them to carry at present, but the mortars are not that heavy and can be taken away.
Following several explosions, four infantry cannons were directly blown up. Li Jin also decisively led his men to retreat and rushed towards the previously determined position.
When Li Jin retreated, several other platoon leaders also completed their tasks and led their men to retreat.
Not long after they retreated, a group of Japanese soldiers rushed over immediately.
The Japs who took the lead were all dumbfounded. The cannons were gone, the shells were gone, and the few remaining infantry cannons were blown up. As for the artillerymen, they were all cut to death with a knife. dead.
The key is that they didn't even see the enemy's shadow.
"Major, what should we do now?" A Japanese soldier asked. The good artillery position was actually taken away, and the enemy was allowed to use their cannons to bomb them.
"What else can we do? Go back and report to the brigade commander." The Japanese Major said helplessly. He felt that the same could be said for other positions.
In the woods, a fire broke out in the tent in the command room, and the corpses of Japanese soldiers lay nearby.
Many Japanese soldiers came to rescue one after another.
"Ahem" a light cough came from under several corpses piled together.
Captain Kikushima pushed away the soldier who was pressing him down, and then quickly pulled up the brigade commander Itsuki Morikami.
"Brigade commander, are you okay?" Captain Kikushima shouted.
Sukiichi Morikami was knocked unconscious, and Captain Kikushima shook him several times before he woke up.
"What happened?" Morikami was a little confused, his face was dark, his ears were buzzing and he was temporarily deaf.
He stood up and took a long time to realize what had just happened.
"Kikushima-kun, thank you for saving my life." Morikami expressed his gratitude.
"This is what I should do, brigade commander." Captain Kikushima said. What happened just now happened too fast. He immediately pressed the brigade commander on him, and then there were soldiers It was on top of him that he survived.
Fortunately, the explosion was far away from them, otherwise, he and the brigade commander would have gone to see Amaterasu by now.
“How can we repair who is it?"He did it." Looking at the corpses on the ground nearby, Morikami cursed angrily.
Since he became the brigade leader, he has never encountered any danger, and this time he almost lost his life.
"How did they find the headquarters? Someone was lurking nearby?" Morikami looked gloomy. The location of his headquarters was not located in the center, and he specifically found it. A low mountain was used as a cover.
The enemy's intelligence personnel were able to find his location and bombard him. If he hadn't been lucky, he would have died.
"Brigade Commander, I'm afraid it's just a coincidence that the enemy shelled the headquarters this time. Otherwise, if the other party had fired all their shells at us, I'm afraid we would all have died. "Captain Kikushima said quickly.
He felt that it was just a coincidence that the other party had not found the location of the headquarters and fired artillery here. Otherwise, the artillery shells would not be so scattered, but would be concentrated. Fire this way.
When the time comes, the artillery fire will directly cover the location of the headquarters. No matter how you run, you will die, so the opponent must have fired this way by chance.
< p>"Well, what you said makes sense. "Mori Shangshu nodded. He was a little carried away by anger. After all, he was almost killed by the enemy's cannon this time.If he died, he would be nailed to The pillar of shame was on. It was already embarrassing for Changshou Jingchuan to be killed in a surprise attack at the rear. If he was killed in a tightly guarded place like the front line, it would be extremely embarrassing.
At this time, the Japanese Major. He also rushed over and saw the corpses all over the headquarters. Fortunately, he saw the brigade commander, otherwise he would have thought that the brigade commander was broken into pieces.
"Brigade commander, artillery position. I have passed by, but I did not find the enemy. They should have retreated immediately after the bombardment. "The Japs Major stepped forward to report.
"Where are the artillery pieces?" asked Morikami Shuichi. He was concerned about artillery, which is related to the next battle.
"Mortar attack All the cannons were taken away by the enemy, and the remaining infantry cannons were also blown up by the enemy. All the artillerymen were killed," the Japanese Major said.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Mori Shangshu Yi bit him tightly. Ya, as expected, this group of enemies came for the artillery.
He regretted that he shouldn't have been so careless. Even if the artillery position was in a safe rear, he should have sent more people to guard it. This won't happen either.
I'm afraid it's the same for other artillery positions.
"Brigade Commander, I have to take responsibility for this. I should send more." People protect artillery positions instead of being careless. "Captain Kikushima decisively found out and took responsibility.
"I can't blame you. My problem is my problem. I will personally apologize to the division commander. Although we have no guns, we still have Advantage,
As long as follow-up supplies can be supplied, Fengling will still be in our possession," Morigami Juichi said.
This is indeed his problem, he You should take responsibility for the mistakes you makeburden.
"Brigade Commander, this is not your responsibility. The enemy is too cunning. Who would have thought that after fighting for so long, they would think of coming to sneak attack the artillery position." Captain Kikushima said.
They did arrange a lot of people to protect the artillery positions before, but then, after fighting for so many days, nothing happened, so they became careless and thought that the enemy would not have the courage to come and attack them.
"The question is, is this unit from the 215th Division?" Morikami said with a frown.
Although not many people are arranged to protect the artillery position, there is still a small team in the artillery position. If the enemy wants to capture the artillery position in a short time, at least hundreds or thousands of people will be needed.
The key is that even if there are so many people, it is impossible for the opponent to capture the artillery position in such a short time. The moment their soldiers fire at the artillery position, they will probably come over quickly to support them.
Therefore, Morikami didn't send more people to protect the artillery position, because even if the other party sent people, it would be impossible to capture it.
The problem now is that the artillery position was captured by the enemy effortlessly without even a single gunshot. Otherwise, how could this be possible?
"It seems that the soldiers standing guard were lazy and were successfully attacked by the enemy." Morigami Juichi said, and this was the only possible explanation.
"Commander of the brigade, I am ordering all soldiers to pay attention when standing guard." Captain Kikushima immediately understood what Morigami Juichi meant.
"However, what makes me wonder is what happened to the artillery of the 215th Division? Did they send all the artillery here in order to sneak attack the position?" Morikami said.
There are so many artillery pieces that cannot be controlled without a certain number of artillery troops. Could it be that the commander of the 215th Division was too confident that the sneak attack would be successful.
Having fought with the 215th Division for so long, he knew that the opponent's fighting style was for stability and would never do such a risky thing.
It is even more stupid to send out all your artillery for a sneak attack.
The artillery of the empire has been strictly trained, and in China, artillery is also in short supply. No matter what, it is not necessary to send so many artillery out to take risks. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
